Bug Description

In GNOME Software the editors picks are showing 10 of however many are tagged in the store as 'featured'. However the list is randomized. I believe we agreed not to randomize this list, but keep the list the same so we can effectively measure the benefit of being in slot 1 vs slot 10 (for example).

Indeed in bug 1705953 and bug 1705953 we make reference to debian/patches/0048-Don-t-randomize-editors-picks.patch which suggests we should indeed not randomize the editors picks, but this doesn't appear to be working.

Attached is a screenshot showing the current selection. However the list is as follows:-

zenkit
notepadqq
vscode
gravit-designer
eclipse
sublime-text
noson
hugo
signal-desktop
audovia
corsixth
zulip
cloudtag
discrographer
htop
ao
codenamelt
bitwarden
mosquitto
wekan
nextcloud
docker
canonical-livepatch
hiri
